After Evan gets home from school I usually look in his book bag to see what homework he has and what papers he has completed and brought home. Today there was a treasure inside. There was a 4 page story he wrote called "The Real Meaning of Christmas". There was no grade on it and I'm not sure if this is something he did on his own or something that was assigned to him. Sometimes he and some of his friends write silly stories just for fun but I think this was supposed to be a serious story with a silly twist. I just had to share it. Watch out for the Mini Quizzes. LOL!
